Camp Wood Arizona Prescott NF USGS Topographic Map 1949

$32

Printed in its year of first publication, 1949, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition—lightly handled, never folded, and kept smooth and flat on thick stock, with a flawless map area and only a small inventory notation in the lower collar corner. Covering rugged country about 35 miles northwest of Prescott in Yavapai County, the quad takes in the Juniper Mountains along with portions of the Prescott National Forest and the Juniper Mesa and Apache Creek Wilderness areas. The 1946 and 1947 aerial and field survey behind it, credited to the Forest Service, captured this stretch of Arizona backcountry at mid-century, and the reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map. It comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Camp Wood 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1946 and 1947. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
